PhysicAsstinNY Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’m a physician assistant, who made an error in not listening ALL the non-PA jobs I have EVER held on a job APPLICATION. Not a resume, as that only lists my professional experience. Specifically I didn’t list a scribe position I was fired from because the chief scribe fired me because she was worried her boyfriend was flirting with me. I also didn’t list the retail jobs, the work study jobs, the babysitting gigs I held. Apparently when I applied several years ago for my first PA job I apparently disclosed to this institution the above scribe job on my application. When I applied this time, I did not. I wasn’t even aware of the discrepancy, nor was this intentional. But because of this, they won’t hire me. There is another hospital in my area that I also applied to looking for my first job and I am now applying again. Do I call them up and let them know of the omission? I’m afraid of this happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAdmission Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I've never listed any "non-PA" jobs in my history. Usually not relevant (to my mind). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkertdm Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I always list my supermarket job. It shows my customer service side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Huh. They flat out said that? Pretty incredible. Probably because you were fired from the position...but I was fired from a dishwashing gig when I was 17 and don't put that down. Weird. Have you reached out to them for their reasoning? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeTheBabe Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 All? They didn't say in the last 5/7/10 years? This is the crap I'm worried about going through credentialing for a new job right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kargiver Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Anything medicine-related is relevant to credentialing committees and med exec committees. I continue to list EMS jobs from 25 years ago because they were relevant when I first started. Besides, it should make its way into your NPI profile so if its there, its everywhere. No one is going to care about your position as a scribe, why you were terminated, etc. They will care that you selectively disclosed it. Once Listed - Always Listed.

I’m afraid of this happening again. My street smarts...this doesn't sound right. To inadvertently leave off an insignificant prior job of scribe and then be un-hirable. An experienced PA shouldn't really need to list prior PA jobs. Did HR specifically tell you they won't hire you because of this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
